19:30pm A film screening of ZERO PATIENCE
Zero Patience is a 1993 Canadian musical comedy written and directed by John Greyson. Sir Richard Burton, the Victorian adventurer and scholar, has survived to the modern day due to his secret discovery of the fountain of youth. While working for the Toronto Natural History Museum, Burton plans an exhibit on the origins of HIV in Canadian society. The ghost of Patient Zero, accused of being the first to bring the virus to North America, appears to Burton and forces him to rethink his positions and the display. From this unlikely premise begins an exploration of the politics of HIV-AIDS, complete with unique and coarse musical numbers and fantasy sequences.
This event is free.
